    copied!<p>I'm having an issue with some server side validation and I can't tell if this is the expected behavior in XPages or if I'm missing something simple here.</p> <p>I have a field that has a computed validation formula - basically, it becomes required when a viewScope variable gets set.</p> <p>My submit button sets the viewScope and does a full refresh.</p> <p>I would expect the form to be submitted, the validation formula gets evaluated, and if it fails the validation failure would be displayed. But when I click my submit button the form is submitted without error. If I click it again, validation fails as expected.</p> <p>To illustrate my issue I created a simple example:</p> <p> </p> <pre><code>&lt;xp:inputText id="inputText1" required="#{javascript:viewScope.validate}"&gt; &lt;xp:this.validators&gt; &lt;xp:validateRequired message="This field is required."&gt;&lt;/xp:validateRequired&gt; &lt;/xp:this.validators&gt; &lt;/xp:inputText&gt; &amp;#160; &lt;xp:button value="Submit" id="button1"&gt; &lt;xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="complete" immediate="false" save="true"&gt; &lt;xp:this.action&gt;&lt;![CDATA[#{javascript:viewScope.validate=true;}]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.action&gt; &lt;xp:this.script&gt;&lt;![CDATA[dojo.attr(dojo.byId("#{id:inputText1}"),"aria-required","true")]]&gt;&lt;/xp:this.script&gt; &lt;/xp:eventHandler&gt; &lt;/xp:button&gt; &lt;xp:br&gt;&lt;/xp:br&gt; &lt;xp:message id="message1" for="inputText1"&gt;&lt;/xp:message&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>As you can see, I also tried adding the aria-required attribute with csjs within the button in the hopes it would initiate validation.</p> <p>If validation is working as expected are there any suggestions for getting dynamic validation like this to function properly? I know I can do something with querySave on the data source (I excluded a data source from the example for simplicity) but was hoping there is a simpler solution than that. </p>
 

Querying!
